Ling Xiao wore a T-shirt at random, standing under the street lamp on the edge of the court, he was tall, because he was wearing short sleeves, his strong arms were exposed, he strode over, the bridge of his nose was high, his face was stiff, his eyes were hidden under the eyebrows, and he only saw a dark shadow.

When he got closer, he saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, his deep eyes were revealed, he looked at Wang Ren seriously, and said, "See you again, Wang Ren." ”

Wang Ren was stunned for a moment, and smiled politely: "Brother Ling, long time no see." ”

"I saw you last week, but I didn't say hello." Seeing that Wang Ren didn't know how to answer, he continued: "Are you practicing? ”

"Yes, why is Brother Ling here?"

"I just transferred to H City, I want to buy a house here, and I will come over at night to have a look, how is the environment here? You live here too? ”

Wang Ren didn't expect someone to come to see the house at night, but seeing Ling Xiao's stern expression, he asked very seriously, and what he said was reasonable, so he didn't think about it, thought about it seriously, and replied: "It's very good here, the facilities in the community are perfect, the environment is very good, it is relatively quiet, and there are security guards guarding the door at night, which is very safe, and it is close to the big supermarket." ”

Ling Xiao blinked, nodded and said, "Well, I took a look at it and thought it was good." There's also a basketball court, which I like to play, and you too. ”

Wang Ren looked up at Ling Xiao and said, "Brother Ling must be very powerful, I'm not very good at it, I'm practicing." ”

From Ling Xiao's point of view, the young man looked very cute with his head up, and he was about to touch his head, as a well-trained soldier, Ling Xiao held back, wiped his hand on the T-shirt casually, and said, "Yes, that's right, I'll teach you." ”

His voice was low, and when he listened closely, it seemed to have a hint of tenderness.

Wang Ren was stunned, he was not familiar with Ling Xiao, the number of times he met could be counted on five fingers, he looked up again and saw that Ling Xiao was indeed serious, Wang Ren didn't expect this, he felt really good in his heart, it would be better if someone taught him, he didn't have to think about it himself, Wang Ren was very happy in his heart, the smile on his face was more sincere, and he asked politely: "That's it, it's great!" Will it bother Brother Ling too much? ”

"No, it won't. I'm strict, you have to be prepared. ”

Wang Ren nodded solemnly, a little nervous in his heart, Wang Ren did not forget jì, the impression left by the first meeting, he was as cold and hard as a cold and hard state machine, once it was running, it was more terrible than a knife.

Seeing his appearance, Ling Xiao patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and his voice was a little gentle: "Don't be nervous, I won't eat people, go shoot and I'll take a look." ”

Wang Ren listened to what the other party said, so he dribbled the ball a few times first and shot seriously. But there was still no goal, and then there was a run to shoot one, and it barely scored.

At this time, I heard Ling Xiao say: "Stand there, cast another one." ”

Wang Ren threw another one and didn't score.

"You're not doing the right thing."

As soon as the words fell, he felt Ling Xiao sticking over, he was a head taller than Wang Ren, his hands were around Wang Ren from behind, and his hands were covering Wang Ren's hands to correct his movements, his palms were warm and rough, with a thin callus, and he had the power to resist. The voice came from overhead, with a thin spray of hot air, "This way, the hand is like this" and then snapped Wang Ren's wrist again, "You try again." ”

Wang Ren's ears were a little red, and the other party took two steps back, so he threw at the basketball hoop in this position, but his strength was a little smaller, and he didn't hit. However, Wang Ren felt that he seemed to have found a little feeling, he glanced at Ling Xiao, the other party was still expressionless, he threw another ball, this time in!

Then he looked back at Ling Xiao and smiled, and continued to shoot, the shooting rate was getting higher and higher, he slowly grasped the trick, remembered the angle and strength, and the movements became more and more natural, and after a while, he was sweating profusely and panting and slowed down.

"The body is too bad." Ling Xiao commented, "I will exercise more in the future, and take a break now." ”

Wang Ren obediently went over to sit and rest, and then heard Ling Xiao ask, "Are you hungry?" ”

Wang Ren shook his head. Then I heard the other party say, "I'll go eat something, and you can drink some drinks and hydrate together." ”

The two came to a nearby noodle restaurant, there were very few people in the noodle restaurant, Ling Xiao asked for a big bowl of noodles, ordered a cup of soybean milk for Wang Ren, and then ate the noodles in three or two clicks, drank the soup cleanly, and ate the dumplings with the order. Wang Ren swallowed his saliva, feeling that Ling Xiao's growth was really related to the amount of food, and even the supper was much more than his main meal.

In fact, Ling Xiao hadn't eaten enough, this wasn't a supper, he didn't eat tonight, he just followed Wang Ren all the way to this point only to find that he was hungry, he was afraid of scaring Wang Ren, so he didn't eat much, he decided to go back and eat later.

"You have a good talent, you have to exercise more in the future, I'll practice the ball here tonight, I'll come back tomorrow night."

"Thank you, Brother Ling!" Wang Ren is indeed very grateful to him, and the effect of tonight's practice is very remarkable.

Ling Xiao patted Wang Ren on the shoulder, and the two said goodbye.

The next day, Wang Ren got up with a sore back, and suddenly a lot of exercise was really unbearable, but because of last night's training, he didn't lose his ugly attitude when he practiced with the players today. The hanging hearts of the classmates were also slightly relaxed, and Liu Zhong also began to encourage Wang Ren to let him cheer, and teamwork still needs to be run-in.

Ling Xiao was waiting for Wang Ren on the court early, taught Wang Ren some basic movements, sat down to watch Wang Ren practice, he lit a cigarette and smoked.

The smoke spreads in front of his eyes, the lights are a little yellow, the boy sweats in front of his eyes, his movements are chic and neat, and his reactions are quick, as if he was born with some kind of talent, which is very much needed by soldiers and mercenaries, this talent can deal with many emergencies, can protect the people, and can also kill people. However, the young man in front of him is not suitable for any future that needs to use this talent, he is immature and soft, every muscle is just right, slender and beautiful, like a cute newborn kitten, no one teaches him to hunt, the sharp claws are quietly put away, there is only clarity and curiosity in his eyes, waiting for someone to love. He may be able to pursue a career in sports, but he is more suitable for reading in the quiet of the afternoon, like a white virgin.

Ling Xiao stood up, put out the cigarette and threw it into the trash, his throat was a little dry, and waved his hand to signal the young man to come over. The voice was hoarse, "Let's go back, it's getting late." ”

The boy nodded.

Wang Ren looked at his watch, it was already half past nine, so he went home, his house was very close, from the court past was a row of sycamores, along the plane trees to the end, turn a corner to the staircase. The night breeze was slightly cool, he had just sweated, and there was a slight coldness blowing on his body, and he looked at it suspiciously, Ling Xiao actually followed him and walked behind him.

As if sensing Wang Ren's puzzled gaze, Ling Xiao explained: "My house was bought here, what's the matter?" You live here too? What floor are you? ”

"I'm on the sixth floor." Wang Rendao.

"What a coincidence, I'm on the fifth floor."

Wang Ren thought to himself, this is too fast! I was looking at the house yesterday and moved in today!

The elevator came soon, there was basically no one so late, the two of them entered the elevator together and did not speak, Ling Xiao behind him breathed a little heavily, some sweat on his body, the small space was a little steaming, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and after a while, the elevator reached the fifth floor, Ling Xiao walked out, the elevator seemed to shake for a while, and then he looked back at Wang Ren and said: "On the day of the school sports meeting, I went to watch you compete." ”

The elevator slowly closed, Ling Xiao seemed to want to say something, but Wang Ren couldn't hear it anymore, he went home and took a hasty shower and fell asleep.

He was locked in a dark room, his whole body was in pain as if he had been cut by a knife, and then there seemed to be a flickering light in front of him, he stumbled along the light, it was a wooden cage, he looked closer, and suddenly a monster-like face stretched out, and smiled at him through the cage, the monster stared at Wang Ren and destroyed the cage like crazy, the wooden cage seemed to be overwhelmed and made a clucking sound and suddenly collapsed, Wang Ren ran forward desperately, but ran very slowly, the monster caught up with Wang Ren after a while, Opening his bloody mouth to reveal his sharp canine teeth, Wang Ren closed his eyes in despair. Then I suddenly heard a voice that said, "Don't be afraid. ”

It was like whispering in the ear, and it was like salvation descending from the nine heavens, and then the monster was suddenly split in half, turning into a thick blood mist, like a piece of blood-colored dust slowly rising up, and gradually disappearing with a glimmer of light. Wang Ren fell backwards with a strong chest, warm and safe.

The surrounding darkness and dampness, the viscous and warm breath spread in the body, the body seemed to be lightly kissed, soft and itchy like a feather, as if in the sea rose and floated, holding a driftwood in his hand, unable to let go...

Wang Ren changed out of his sticky underwear, frowned, and carried it to the bathroom to wash it silently. I have forgotten what kind of dream I had, but I remember that the viscous and humid breath went straight to the bone marrow. Wang Ren has rarely had this kind of dream since he was reborn, and he occasionally solved it hastily. He has a burden in his heart, and he doesn't have the heart to pay attention to girls, so it is enough to ask for his relatives to be by his side in this life, and he doesn't want to delay others.

Wang Ren went out to school, the elevator stopped on the fifth floor, Ling Xiao walked in, the elevator seemed to sink for a while, Wang Ren looked at Ling Xiao's stiff side face, and somehow remembered the dream last night....

"What? Keep looking at me? ”

Wang Ren came back to his senses at this time, and secretly scolded himself for being confused, so he turned his face away embarrassedly, and whispered: "It's nothing."

The other party smiled and asked, "When is the game?" ”

Wang Ren then remembered that he hadn't told Ling Xiao when the game would be, and hurriedly said, "It's four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, in the school's stadium..." ”

Ling Xiao touched the young man's head, smiled deeper, and said, "Of course, I want to test the results." ”
